I didn't realize this, but yes, this is absolutely true. I wonder how many people would actually be willing to pay a premium on having their clothes warm when coming out of a dryer.

Fancy models will have a "warm" cycle that heats the clothes for the last 10 minutes.

Most of the energy consumption in a dryer is from the actual drying cycle -- once the clothes are totally dry, the high-temperature cycle to get them all hot doesn't consume much power.

Wonder if they could add a quick warm cycle at the very end. Still use a lot less energy but still get warm clothes.
